I traded my 06 for an F150 so I decided I would start working on my 90GT. I picked it up about 5 months ago and found a lot of issues that need to be worked out.
Here it is as I received it:

After looking at it I found rust on the shock towers and a small hole in the floor board. The sunroof leaks like a faucet! I also picked up a damaged fiberglass hood and I am attempting to fix it. This is my first time workingwith fiberglass repair.
After the first day of working on it pics:

I think he said around 6pm. He has to pick up his trailor then He will be out.
This is going to be a fun project to watch.
Are you going to part the GT out with the left over parts?

Yes I am, but there will not be much left except for the body parts and maybe a few odds and ends.

If you aren't swapping over the GT front end, I may be interested in the fog lights

Got the 4 banger tucked in the garage. Not much room to work, but it is all I have. This thing has rubber wheels on it!

Yes I am using the black carpet. It is getting the whole interior from the 90 GT. It has black/grey.

I picked up a PA Racing tubular K member today and a new set of ARP head bolts (Thanks Cincy Speed!). Collecting parts so when it all starts to go together it will be easier.

Since I have a bunch of interior parts...some red/ some grey I decided to paint them black with plastic paint. Goes on really good and looks good too in my opinion. I have to pick which on is in better shape since both cars were abused pretty bad.

I almost have the engine bay cleaned out to start working on painting it.

Looks good man, Whats gonna be the powerplant behind this? Mild 302?
BlazinEagle
08-31-2009, 07:32 PM
not sure on the motor yet. I have to just stick the original 5.0 in there to get it running then probably do a 331.

Should be a fun build, I always thought 331's were waaaaayyyy better than 347's for street use.
